At our eighth summer meeting we watched Riding Bean and Welcome to the NHK.

Overview Riding Bean: “Bean Bandit is the top courier in the Chicago area, and a man who isn't
shy about operating on the wrong side of the law. Of course, his clients
must also pay a pretty penny for his speedy services. Unfortunately,
Bean's reputation catches up with him when he is framed for kidnapping a
10 year-old girl, whom he doesn't realize is in trouble, by a group of
shady criminals.”

Overview Welcome to the NHK: “Meet Satou Tatsuhiro, a 22 year-old man who thinks everything around him
is wrapped up in some sort of conspiracy. It's not long before Satou's
conspiracies turn into one big theory? That a secret organization known
as the N.H.K. is out to fill the world with reclusive adolescents like
himself, also known as hikikomori. Now they've upped the ante by using
media to turn unsuspecting viewers into otaku, and Satou becomes
determined to stop the N.H.K. There's only one problem - he's too
frightened to even go outdoors!”

(From Wikipedia): “The student council members of Hekiyou Academy in Hokkaido are selected by a popularity contest. As a result the members are usually a group of pretty girls.

Overview:
“A group of eternally young fighter pilots known as Kildren experience
the sudden loss of innocence as they battle the enemy in astonishing
dogfights above the clouds. With his only childhood memory consisting
of intense flight training, the fearless teenage pilot Yuichi's
dogfights coexist with his struggle to find his missing past. When his
beautiful, young female commander Suito is reluctant to discuss the fate
of the pilot that Yuichi is replacing - or the strangely perfect
condition of that pilot's former aircraft - Yuichi's curiosity becomes
heightened.”

At the beginning of summer vacation, he is asked by Natsuki, one of the most popular girls in his school, to help in celebrating her great-grandmother's 90th birthday. Although Kenji does not know the details of the plan, he agrees and goes with Natsuki to her grandmother's estate in Ueda, Nagano Prefecture. Much to Kenji's surprise, he is introduced at the Shinohara family house as Natsuki's fiance.”

Overview (From Wikipedia): “In the future, people with ESP are becoming more widespread and with it, the necessity of constructively utilizing their unique capabilities. Unfortunately, there are also espers that abuse their powers and wield them to destructive ends. The Japanese government's solution of choice to both challenges is the establishment of the Base of Backing ESP Laboratory (B.A.B.E.L.) for the purpose of appraising, identifying, nurturing, and protecting espers. Five decades later, B.A.B.E.L. locates a trio of natural Level 7 espers within Japan and assembles them into the special esper team known as "The Children". Still, the question during B.A.B.E.L.'s stewardship of the past five years now becomes whether they can be refined into young ladies.”
